Photo - Pygmy Hippo

This will link to a picture of a pygmy hippo calf on Flickr:

It was taken by someone calling themselves 'meercat woman.'
I found the picture interesting and slightly disturbing at the same time.
Though it looks like it could make a good pet - it would probably eat any veges you didn't want.

Another thing I found interesting and disturbing was the discription of the group - ***Pygmy Hippos*** - on Flickr:

" For sharing photographs of pygmy hippos ONLY. No other types of hippo or other animals. No toy, ornamental or dead hippos. All photographs that do not comply with these rules will be deleted."

They sound like they mean business.
I took my leave of Flickr before I began to dwell overmuch on the prospect of pictures of dead hippos.
